Fence Repair & Replacement
Expert fence repair and replacement services that restore your fence's strength, appearance, and functionality.
When Your Fence Needs Attention
Even the best-built fences eventually need repairs. Weather, age, accidents, and normal wear take their toll over time. Maybe you have noticed a leaning post, a broken board, or a gate that no longer closes properly. Perhaps storm damage left sections of your fence down. These issues do not just look bad, they compromise the security and privacy your fence is supposed to provide.
At Elite Alexander City Fencing, we understand that repairs are about more than just fixing what is broken. You want your fence to look good and function properly. You need repairs done quickly so your pets stay contained and your property stays secure. And you want the repair to last, not become a recurring problem that needs attention every few months. That is exactly what we deliver with every repair project in Alexander City.
Sometimes repair is not the best option. If your fence has widespread damage, extensive rot, or has reached the end of its useful life, replacement might be more cost-effective. We give you honest assessments about whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation. Our goal is to help you make the best decision for your property and budget, not to sell you services you do not need.
Common Fence Problems We Fix
Structural Issues
Leaning or loose posts are one of the most common fence problems we see. Posts can shift due to soil settling, frost heave, or inadequate initial installation. A leaning post affects the entire fence section, causing panels to sag and gates to bind. We reset posts properly, ensuring they are plumb and secure in the ground. For severely damaged posts, we replace them entirely with new posts set in concrete.
Broken or damaged fence panels, boards, and pickets are another frequent repair. Storm damage, impact from vehicles or falling branches, and wood rot can all compromise fence panels. We replace damaged sections to match your existing fence as closely as possible. For wood fences, we select materials that blend with your weathered wood. For vinyl and metal fences, we work to find matching colors and styles.
Gate Problems
Gates take more abuse than any other part of your fence. They open and close constantly, support their own weight on hinges, and must latch securely every time. Common gate problems include:
- Sagging gates that drag on the ground
- Broken or rusted hinges that no longer support the gate
- Latches that do not align or stay closed
- Warped gate frames that bind or refuse to close
- Loose hardware that rattles or falls off
We repair gates by replacing worn hardware, adjusting hinges, straightening frames, and ensuring proper clearance. For gates beyond repair, we build and install new gates that match your existing fence. A properly functioning gate makes daily life easier and prevents the frustration of wrestling with a gate that will not cooperate.
Material-Specific Repairs
Different fence materials develop different problems over time. Wood fences may experience rot at the base of posts or in boards that stay damp. We replace rotted wood and can install gravel at post bases to improve drainage and prevent future rot. Vinyl fences can crack from impact or become discolored. We replace damaged vinyl sections and can recommend cleaning products to restore appearance. Chain-link fences may develop tears, loose fabric, or rust. We repair or replace damaged sections and can add privacy slats if you want to increase privacy. Aluminum fences rarely rust but can bend from impact. We straighten bent sections or replace damaged pickets to restore appearance and function.
Our Repair Process
Every repair starts with an assessment of the damage. We examine the affected area and check surrounding sections for hidden problems. This thorough inspection ensures we address all issues, not just the obvious damage. We explain what we find and recommend the best repair approach. You receive a clear estimate before we start any work.
Once you approve the estimate, we schedule your repair at a convenient time. Most repairs are completed in a few hours to a single day. We bring the necessary materials and tools to complete the job without multiple trips. Our crew works efficiently while maintaining the same attention to detail we apply to new installations. We clean up thoroughly when finished, leaving you with a fence that looks and functions like it should.
For extensive damage requiring replacement of multiple sections or an entire fence, we provide the same professional service as our new fence installations. We help you choose materials, handle any necessary permits, and complete the work with minimal disruption to your daily routine. Whether you want to match your existing fence style or upgrade to something new, we have the expertise to deliver excellent results.
